Boy, sounds ugly. I think, deep down, you know that the Right Thing To Do[tm] is to get that prop into a prop-shop for a good look-see. Filing out the nick is generally right, but prop makers have pretty clear guidelines on how much you can take and where. The 'nicks' you described were pretty big. At very least, I'd want an A&P with an IA to look at it and determine if the prop shop was the next stop. Even the most expert person here, in the absence of a first hand evaluation, probably isn't near as good as an IA or a prop shop. And metal props are serious business, given to post-damage failures in very unattractive fashion. By the way, if the strip you landed on was a legit airport, your insurance may pay for all or part of the evaluation/repair.
